cause_n we_o read_v of_o none_o but_o wicked_a lamech_n before_o the_o flood_n 23._o that_o have_v more_o wife_n than_o one_o who_o jovinian_a call_v a_o monster_n because_o he_o make_v two_o rib_n of_o one_o and_o another_o say_v that_o the_o name_n of_o his_o second_o wife_n do_v signify_v a_o shadow_n because_o she_o be_v not_o a_o wife_n but_o the_o shadow_n of_o a_o wife_n for_o this_o cause_n the_o scripture_n never_o bid_v man_n to_o love_v his_o wife_n but_o to_o love_v his_o wife_n and_o say_v 5._o they_o shall_v be_v two_o in_o one_o flesh_n not_o three_o nor_o four_o but_o only_o two_o for_o this_o cause_n king_n solomon_n call_v the_o whorish_a woman_n a_o strange_a woman_n 16._o to_o show_v that_o she_o shall_v be_v a_o stranger_n unto_o we_o and_o we_o shall_v be_v strange_a to_o she_o for_o this_o cause_n child_n which_o be_v bear_v in_o marriage_n be_v call_v liberi_fw-la which_o signify_v free_a bear_v and_o they_o which_o be_v bear_v out_o of_o marriage_n be_v call_v bastard_n that_o be_v base_a bear_v 25._o like_o the_o mule_n which_o be_v engender_v of_o a_o ass_n and_o a_o mare_n devil_n therefore_o adulterer_n be_v liken_v to_o the_o devil_n which_o sow_v another_o man_n ground_n 22._o other_o sow_n for_o a_o harvest_n but_o they_o sow_v that_o which_o they_o dare_v not_o reap_v therefore_o child_n bear_v in_o wedlock_n be_v count_v god_n blessing_n because_o they_o come_v by_o virtue_n of_o that_o blessing_n 4._o increase_n and_o multiply_v 28._o but_o before_o adam_n and_o eve_n be_v marry_v god_n never_o say_v increase_n show_v that_o he_o do_v curse_v and_o not_o bless_v such_o increase_n therefore_o we_o read_v not_o in_o all_o the_o scripture_n of_o one_o bastard_n that_o come_v to_o any_o good_a bastard_n but_o only_o jephtah_n 1._o and_o to_o show_v that_o no_o inheritance_n do_v belong_v to_o they_o in_o heaven_n curse_n they_o have_v no_o inheritance_n in_o earth_n neither_o be_v count_v of_o the_o congregation_n as_o other_o be_v deut._n chap._n 23._o verse_n 2._o now_o because_o marriage_n be_v appoint_v for_o a_o remedy_n against_o fornication_n therefore_o the_o law_n of_o god_n inflict_v a_o sore_a punishment_n upon_o he_o which_o do_v commit_v uncleanness_n after_o marriage_n 10._o then_o upon_o he_o which_o be_v not_o marry_v 22._o because_o he_o sin_v fornicator_n although_o he_o have_v the_o remedy_n of_o sin_n like_o a_o rich_a thief_n which_o steal_v and_o have_v no_o need_n now_o if_o marriage_n be_v a_o remedy_n against_o the_o sin_n of_o fornication_n then_o unless_o minister_n may_v commit_v the_o sin_n of_o fornication_n minister_n it_o seem_v that_o they_o may_v use_v the_o remedy_n as_o well_o as_o other_o for_o as_o it_o be_v better_a for_o one_o man_n to_o marry_v then_o to_o burn_v so_o it_o be_v better_a for_o all_o man_n to_o marry_v then_o to_o burn_v and_o therefore_o paul_n say_v marriage_n be_v honourable_a among_o all_o man_n 9_o and_o again_o 4._o for_o the_o avoid_v of_o fornication_n let_v every_o man_n have_v his_o wife_n 7._o and_o as_o though_o he_o do_v foresee_v that_o some_o will_v except_v the_o minister_n in_o time_n to_o come_v in_o the_o first_o epistle_n of_o timothy_n the_o three_o chapter_n and_o second_o verse_n he_o speak_v more_o precise_o of_o the_o minister_n wife_n then_o of_o any_o other_o 2._o say_v let_v he_o be_v the_o husband_n of_o one_o wife_n and_o lest_o you_o shall_v say_v that_o by_o one_o wife_n he_o mean_v one_o benefice_n like_o the_o papist_n he_o expound_v himself_o in_o the_o four_o verse_n and_o say_v that_o he_o must_v be_v one_o that_o can_v rule_v his_o house_n well_o and_o his_o child_n sure_a god_n will_v not_o have_v these_o child_n to_o be_v bastard_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v like_a that_o he_o allow_v the_o minister_n a_o wife_n therefore_o paul_n say_v well_o 6._o that_o he_o have_v no_o commandment_n for_o virginity_n for_o virginity_n can_v be_v command_v because_o it_o be_v a_o special_a gift_n but_o not_o a_o special_a gift_n to_o minister_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v bind_v more_o than_o other_o a_o peculiar_a gift_n may_v not_o be_v make_v a_o general_a rule_n because_o none_o can_v use_v it_o but_o they_o which_o have_v it_o and_o therefore_o in_o 1._o cor._n 7._o 17._o he_o say_v 17._o as_o god_n have_v distribute_v to_o every_o man_n so_o let_v he_o walk_v that_o be_v if_o he_o have_v not_o the_o gift_n of_o continency_n he_o be_v bind_v to_o marry_v &_o therefore_o paul_n command_v in_o the_o seven_o verse_n whether_o he_o be_v minister_v or_o other_o if_o they_o can_v not_o abstain_v let_v they_o marry_v as_o though_o they_o tempt_v god_n if_o they_o marry_v not_o the_o law_n be_v general_a it_o be_v not_o good_a for_o man_n to_o be_v alone_o 18._o exempt_n one_o order_n of_o man_n no_o more_o than_o another_o 11._o and_o again_o christ_n speak_v of_o chastity_n say_v all_o man_n can_v receive_v this_o thing_n therefore_o unless_o we_o know_v that_o this_o order_n of_o man_n can_v receive_v this_o thing_n christ_n forbid_v to_o bind_v they_o more_o than_o other_o and_o therefore_o as_o the_o priest_n be_v marry_v that_o teach_v the_o law_n so_o christ_n choose_v apostle_n that_o be_v marry_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n therefore_o the_o doctrine_n of_o papist_n be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n 3._o for_o paul_n call_v the_o forbid_v of_o marriage_n the_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n a_o fit_a title_n for_o all_o their_o book_n last_o if_o marriage_n be_v a_o remedy_n against_o sin_n than_o marriage_n itself_o be_v no_o sin_n for_o if_o marriage_n itself_o be_v a_o sin_n 8._o we_o may_v not_o marry_v for_o any_o cause_n because_o we_o must_v not_o do_v the_o least_o evil_a that_o the_o great_a good_n may_v come_v of_o it_o and_o if_o marriage_n be_v not_o a_o sin_n than_o the_o offensive_a duty_n of_o marriage_n be_v not_o sin_n that_o be_v the_o secret_a of_o marriage_n be_v not_o evil_a and_o therefore_o paul_n say_v 4._o not_o only_a marriage_n be_v honourable_a but_o the_o bed_n be_v honourable_a that_o be_v even_o the_o action_n of_o marriage_n be_v as_o lawful_a as_o marriage_n beside_o 8._o paul_n say_v let_v the_o husband_n give_v unto_o the_o wise_a due_a benevolence_n here_o be_v a_o commandment_n to_o yield_v this_o duty_n that_o which_o be_v command_v be_v lawful_a and_o not_o to_o do_v it_o be_v a_o breach_n of_o the_o commandment_n therefore_o marriage_n be_v institute_v before_o any_o sin_n be_v to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n in_o it_o if_o it_o be_v not_o abuse_v but_o because_o this_o be_v rare_a therefore_o after_o woman_n be_v deliver_v etc._n god_n appoint_v they_o to_o be_v purify_v show_v that_o some_o stain_n or_o other_o do_v creep_v into_o this_o action_n which_o have_v need_v to_o be_v repent_v 5._o and_o therefore_o when_o they_o pray_v paul_n will_v not_o have_v they_o come_v together_o lest_o their_o prayer_n shall_v be_v hinder_v the_o three_o cause_n be_v to_o avoid_v the_o inconvenience_n of_o solitariness_n signify_v in_o these_o word_n cause_n it_o be_v not_o good_a for_o man_n to_o be_v alone_o 2._o as_o though_o he_o have_v say_v this_o life_n will_v be_v miserable_a and_o irksome_a and_o unpleasant_a to_o man_n if_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o give_v he_o a_o wife_n to_o company_n his_o trouble_n if_o it_o be_v not_o good_a for_o man_n to_o be_v alone_o than_o it_o be_v good_a for_o man_n to_o have_v a_o fellow_n therefore_o as_o god_n create_v a_o pair_n of_o all_o other_o kind_n so_o he_o create_v a_o pair_n of_o this_o kind_n we_o say_v that_o one_o be_v none_o because_o he_o can_v be_v few_o than_o one_o he_o can_v be_v lesser_a than_o one_o he_o can_v be_v weak_a than_o one_o and_o therefore_o the_o wise_a man_n say_v 10._o woe_n to_o he_o which_o be_v alone_o that_o be_v he_o which_o be_v alone_o shall_v have_v woe_n thought_n and_o care_n and_o fear_n will_v come_v to_o he_o because_o he_o have_v none_o to_o comfort_v he_o as_o thief_n steal_v in_o when_o the_o house_n be_v empty_a like_o a_o turtle_n which_o have_v lose_v his_o mate_n like_o one_o leg_n when_o the_o other_o be_v cut_v off_o like_o one_o wing_n when_o the_o other_o be_v clipte_v so_o have_v the_o man_n be_v if_o the_o woman_n have_v not_o be_v join_v to_o he_o therefore_o for_o mutual_a society_n god_n couple_v two_o together_o that_o the_o infinite_a trouble_n which_o lie_v upon_o we_o in_o this_o world_n may_v be_v ease_v with_o the_o comfort_n and_o help_v one_o of_o another_o and_o that_o the_o poor_a in_o the_o world_n may_v have_v some_o comfort_n as_o well_o as_o the_o rich_a 6._o for_o the_o poor_a man_n say_v solomon_n be_v forsake_v of_o his_o

the_o supper_n take_v bread_n to_o feed_v we_o 16._o so_o in_o his_o birth_n he_o take_v our_o flesh_n to_o save_v us._n second_o as_o christ_n when_o he_o have_v take_v the_o bread_n bless_v the_o bread_n to_o make_v it_o a_o spiritual_a food_n so_o christ_n when_o he_o have_v take_v our_o flesh_n pour_v forth_o most_o rich_a and_o precious_a grace_n into_o it_o to_o make_v it_o food_n of_o

24._o break_v it_o up_o like_o a_o rich_a treasure_n house_n his_o hand_n by_o the_o nail_n his_o back_n by_o the_o stripe_n his_o head_n by_o the_o thorn_n his_o side_n by_o the_o spear_n that_o out_o of_o every_o hole_n a_o river_n of_o grace_n and_o goodness_n may_v issue_v &_o flow_v forth_o unto_o us._n 17._o last_o as_o christ_n give_v the_o bread_n when_o he_o have_v break_v it_o so_o christ_n by_o a_o lively_a faith_n communicate_v his_o body_n after_o he_o have_v crucify_v it_o hereby_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o when_o we_o see_v the_o minister_n take_v the_o bread_n to_o feed_v we_o we_o must_v conceive_v that_o christ_n be_v god_n from_o everlasting_a take_v our_o flesh_n to_o save_v us._n when_o we_o see_v the_o minister_n bless_v the_o bread_n to_o a_o holy_a use_n we_o must_v conceive_v that_o christ_n by_o unite_n the_o godhead_n unto_o it_o sanctify_v his_o flesh_n for_o our_o redemption_n when_o we_o see_v the_o minister_n break_v the_o bread_n to_o sustain_v our_o body_n we_o must_v conceive_v that_o christ_n in_o his_o death_n break_v his_o body_n to_o refresh_v our_o soul_n when_o we_o see_v the_o minister_n give_v the_o bread_n to_o our_o hand_n we_o must_v conceive_v that_o christ_n as_o true_o offer_v himself_o to_o our_o faith_n to_o be_v receive_v of_o us._n because_o upon_o these_o word_n the_o papist_n ground_v their_o transubstantiation_n that_o be_v that_o the_o bread_n be_v change_v into_o christ_n flesh_n &_o the_o wine_n be_v turn_v into_o christ_n blood_n whereby_o we_o eat_v the_o same_o body_n which_o die_v upon_o the_o cross_n

of_o this_o scripture_n how_o they_o make_v against_o transubstantiation_n that_o you_o may_v see_v they_o slay_v like_o goliath_n with_o their_o own_o sword_n 15_o even_o as_o god_n make_v caiphas_n

before_o and_o skip_v in_o the_o midst_n and_o omit_v that_o which_o come_v after_o or_o else_o he_o have_v mar_v his_o cause_n the_o scripture_n be_v so_o holy_a and_o pure_a and_o true_a that_o no_o

against_o he_o so_o do_v the_o libertine_n and_o epicure_n and_o heretic_n as_o though_o they_o have_v learn_v at_o his_o school_n now_o there_o be_v no_o sentence_n of_o the_o scripture_n which_o the_o wise_a papist_n allege_v bold_o for_o their_o transubstantiation_n 26_o but_o this_o that_o christ_n say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n by_o which_o they_o may_v prove_v as_o well_o 9_o that_o

take_v bread_n well_o then_o yet_o it_o be_v bread_n when_o he_o have_v take_v it_o than_o he_o bless_v it_o what_o do_v he_o bless_v the_o bread_n which_o he_o take_v well_o then_o yet_o it_o be_v

only_o say_v it_o be_v bread_n and_o wine_n after_o the_o consecration_n in_o the_o 27._o verse_n christ_n himself_o do_v call_v it_o bread_n and_o wine_n after_o he_o have_v give_v it_o as_o he_o

pray_v or_o else_o it_o be_v as_o lawful_a to_o buy_v any_o thing_n as_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o use_v it_o i_o know_v beside_o objection_n that_o it_o be_v a_o common_a say_n if_o there_o be_v no_o

abraham_n swear_v and_o abimelech_n swear_v abraham_n swear_v by_o the_o true_a god_n but_o abimelech_n swear_v by_o his_o false_a god_n and_o yet_o abraham_n do_v receive_v this_o oath_n and_o sin_v not_o so_o if_o her_o majesty_n and_o the_o turk_n shall_v make_v a_o covenant_n the_o turk_n will_v not_o swear_v as_o the_o queen_n will_v swear_v for_o the_o queen_n will_v swear_v by_o the_o

for_o i_o to_o give_v more_o than_o i_o borrow_v though_o it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o the_o usurer_n to_o take_v more_o than_o he_o lend_v beside_o a_o prince_n may_v not_o pardon_v a_o wilful_a

the_o take_v unlawful_a so_o the_o other_o unlawful_a take_n do_v not_o make_v the_o give_v unlawful_a beside_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o suffer_v injury_n though_o it_o be_v unlawful_a to_o offer_v

not_o take_v more_o than_o i_o lend_v yet_o i_o may_v give_v more_o than_o i_o borrow_v moreover_o i_o may_v compare_v give_v of_o usury_n to_o swear_v if_o a_o man_n swear_v without_o a_o cause_n he_o sin_v but_o if_o he_o swear_v as_o the_o word_n teach_v he_o to_o swear_v he_o sin_v not_o so_o if_o a_o man_n borrow_v upon_o usury_n and_o borrow_v without_o cause_n he_o sin_v because_o he_o feed_v the_o usurer_n but_o else_o as_o a_o man_n may_v swear_v in_o some_o case_n so_o in_o some_o case_n a_o man_n may_v borrow_v upon_o usury_n that_o be_v in_o case_n of_o necessity_n when_o a_o
